I’m autistic’: At college, he fought stigma by speaking out
Quote:
“For years, I’ve dealt with Asperger’s Syndrome and kept it secret from everyone until I graduated from high school,” he wrote. “Only a few people knew about my Asperger’s Syndrome and I hid it from others because I wasn’t going to let my hard-earned reputation fall down the toilet just because I’m autistic. It was a burden I couldn’t keep any longer and I have since accepted my disability.”
